Alcoa moves to build a sustainable future in China

Wider application of aluminum will further enhance energy efficiency and contribute to sustainable city development and construction, an executive of global integrated aluminum maker Alcoa said.

Also known as the Summer Davos economic forum, the annual meeting features the theme of "Next Wave of Growth," with sustainable city planning and construction one of key discussion topics.

Wide application

To build a sustainable city, urban traffic capacity and urban resource supply are decisive factors that cannot be neglected.

The application of environmentally friendly materials in traffic and transportation and urban construction is of great importance, according to Alcoa.

Alcoa cooperated with the Beijing Public Transportation Co and provided the forged aluminum wheels for 50 electric motorcycles. A new type of environmentally friendly bus jointly introduced by Alcoa and Yutong Bus was road tested in August. The successful application of the series of advanced ground transportation technologies helped Beijing meet the requirements of a high-efficiency transportation.

Presence in China

The primary goal of Alcoa in China is to develop along with the Chinese aluminum industry, which is witnessing an annual growth rate of 24 percent. Market data shows the great potential of the Chinese aluminum industry.

As an industry leader, Alcoa has focused on the continuing improvement of its existing business and productive force in China. By 2020, China's aluminum consumption will be equal to the total amount of all the other countries in the world today.

Alcoa's value

Alcoa is not only contributing to sustainable city development, but also forging sustainable growth in its own production.

It is Alcoa's value that the environment comes first if there is any conflict between production, profit and environmental protection.
